Abstract


This paper is a road map for the new generation of graduate students who are interested in reluctance generator research work. Recent research work on two-pole single phase self-excited reluctance generator (2PSPSERG) has been evaluated. The coverage extends over three decades of time, and covers more than eighty pages of reported pioneering research work. Topics addressed include: converting synchronous motor into reluctance generator (RG), types of rotors used especially axially laminated anisotropic (ALA), existence of mutual coupling, negative mutual coupling, time variation of windings inductances, d-axis and q-axis inductance variations with flux, rotor saliency ratio variation with flux, relationship between electrical frequency of stator windings voltages and currents and rotor mechanical frequency of rotation, unbalanced loading of RG, stability of RG under rotor speed fluctuations, stability of RG under load power factor changes, and efficiency of RG. Findings extracted from literature-cited matrix are reported, as well as gaps revealed by the same matrix. Facts in SERG literature are collected and listed. Questions raised during the study are documented. Guidelines for clear experimental future research work are outlined. Finally, suggestions for future research are then discussed.
